No, the 1980s weren't worse than this. I do see, hear and read that a lot, though, when fans in our city discuss or debate when, if at all, Pittsburgh's experienced a decade-long drought comparable to what the Steelers, Penguins and Pirates are currently enduring in not having won a single playoff round since. Anyone even remember the last?

Connor Hellebuyck, the Vezina‑ and Hart‑trophy winning Jets goalie who demanded a trade to New Jersey, sits out his first game against his former club in Winnipeg – a move that echoes a 2001‑02 Red Wings saga. Back then, Dominik Hasek forced the Wings to start him against his old team, Buffalo, before retiring, and the team later chose Curtis Joseph over Ed Belfour, only to bench Joseph in his debut against Toronto. The article draws parallels between those historic goaltender decisions and the Devils’ current handling of Hellebuyck.

The rumors ignited after Week 9 Monday Night Football, where the Vikings’ Carson Wentz threw 8‑of‑25 for 81 yards, two interceptions and a fumble in a 23‑6 loss to Buffalo, prompting analysts and fans to wonder if Minnesota would swap for Stafford.

Fox Sports analyst Greg Olsen clarifies his on‑air comments about Giants rookie WR Malik Nabers after the 19‑11 win over the Eagles sparked controversy. Olsen and play‑by‑play Joe Davis noted Nabers' frustrated body language, prompting Nabers to fire off a now‑deleted Instagram rant accusing the broadcaster of painting him as a bad teammate. Olsen later posted on X, attaching the broadcast clip and stating he never called Nabers a bad teammate, instead emphasizing the fine line between a receiver's competitiveness and team harmony. Nabers logged five catches for 43 yards, ending a streak of 111‑yard games. The Giants host Washington in Week 10.
Ahead of the Patriots’ Week 9 clash with the Green Bay Packers, Rob Gronkowski teased former teammate Tom Brady about his “ridiculous” pizza cheat meal, prompting laughs from Julian Edelman. While the Patriots reminisced on Brady’s five‑Super Bowl legacy, the game turned sour as the Packers rolled to a comfortable win and running back Rhamondre Stevenson suffered a concerning injury. Coach Mike Vrabel also addressed locker‑room concerns amid mounting injuries to key players like TreVeyon Henderson and A.J. Brown.
As the NFL trade deadline looms, the Canal Street Chronicles breaks down each NFC South squad's strategy. The Buccaneers, hovering at 3‑6 after a near‑comeback loss to Chicago, could flip veteran Vita Vea for assets or simply stay the course to keep Todd Bowles' hopes alive. First‑place Panthers (3‑5) surprisingly consider selling DT Derrick Brown and guard Robert Hunt despite a recent three‑game skid and a defensive coordinator change. The Falcons (3‑6), already trading safety Jessie Bates III for a 2nd‑ and 5th‑round pick, are likely to move more players, sparing only Bijan Robinson. The Saints (3‑5) remain wide‑open, ready to buy or sell—possible names include Justin Reid, Pete Werner and others—depending on the right offer. The piece also recaps Week 9 results and current division standings.
Ahead of the NFL trade deadline, the Jacksonville Jaguars acquire former Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis in a deal that sends a 2027 first‑round and a 2029 second‑round pick to Philadelphia. ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky praised GM James Gladstone for the aggressive move, noting Davis joins a towering defensive line that now includes Eric Armstead, Josh Hines‑Allen and Walker. Davis, the 13th overall pick in 2022, has posted 31 tackles and 1.5 sacks in nine games this season. Jacksonville also added safety Jessie Bates III and DT Davon Godchaux before the Nov. 10 deadline.
The Vikings fell 23-6 to the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 9, 2026, and the loss hinges on Carson Wentz’s disastrous passing – a 37% adjusted completion rate and more completions to the Bills than his own team. Despite the offense’s historic 17:28 minute time of possession, the front seven shone, pressuring Josh Allen on half his drops and delivering standout plays from Andrew Van Ginkel, Jalen Redmond, Byron Murphy Jr., and others. Coaches blame both the offensive scheme and preparation, hinting at a possible quarterback change. The article dissects defensive standouts, identifies lapses like Josh Metellus’s coverage error, and critiques offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell’s inability to translate practice into game performance.
After a 23-6 home loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 9, the Vikings face a quarterback crisis as Carson Wentz struggles and Kyler Murray remains week‑to‑week with a Grade 2 hamstring strain. With the trade deadline looming, GM Nolan Teasley could target Kirk Cousins, Anthony Richardson or Colts’ Daniel Jones, but each option risks a steep learning curve ahead of tough matchups against the Packers and 49ers. Meanwhile, the run game—led by Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones—needs urgent tweaks, and backup Max Brosmer showed flashes of promise. The article weighs whether Minnesota should panic‑button a QB trade or stick with the current roster while hoping the defense stays stout enough to keep division hopes alive.
Ahead of the NFL trade deadline, Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy publicly backs GM Omar Khan and President Art Rooney II, saying he trusts the front office to make any needed moves. With Pittsburgh riding a 6-2 streak after their bye week, McCarthy stresses staying focused on the upcoming Week 10 Sunday Night Football showdown against the Bengals, which could complete a season sweep. He likens the season to a "runaway train" and urges players to keep their energy on the field rather than trade gossip.
The Denver Broncos, sitting 7-2 after a 26-21 win over the Panthers, face a crucial decision at the 2026 trade deadline. While acquiring star RB Jonathan Taylor could boost the offense, the article warns that the real issue may be inadequate offensive line blocking, not the running backs themselves. It urges Denver to evaluate guard upgrades, improve execution, and consider lower‑cost options like adding depth rather than splurging on Taylor’s $44 million contract. Rookie Jonah Coleman’s recent production and the injuries to RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie add to the calculus. The key mistake would be paying a premium for a single player without fixing the underlying line problems.
The Vikings’ offense collapses in a 23‑6 defeat to the Bills on Nov. 10, 2026, turning a 6‑1 start into a 6‑2 record. Minnesota runs only five times in the first half, gaining just 18 yards, and finishes with a total of 11 carries for 51 yards, while Buffalo rushes 44 times and dominates time of possession. Quarterback woes surface as Carson Wentz throws two interceptions and completes just 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards, echoing last week’s loss to Detroit. The article questions whether Minnesota will shake up the roster before the trade deadline or stick with a struggling offensive plan.
